oh wow, thats insane that you can't select certain options anymore seperatly.
I blame the WLTP. They need to have more packages to be able to have less cars tested, so I can understand it from Seats point of view.

I wonder what will change here in The Netherlands, we have a bit different ranges in Ateca;
Reference (base model)
Style
Style Business Intense (more options for a sharper price, due to the tax-construction in The Netherlands)
Xcellence
Xcellence Business Intense (see above)
FR
FR Business Intense (see above)

Here you can just randomly add seperate options. But the 1.0 engine is only available on the Reference and Style models.
And neither of those models have the 19" as options.

I suspect we're going to see this approach across most manufactures going forward - they will all be trying to double guessing what options buyers most want bundled together and hopefully updating the packages each year base sales

Whilst I didn't choose mine as it was a demo (and even then it took a while to find one with options I wanted) it's something which looks like it won't be available again...feeling quite lucky now !!!

I have just been advised that my order placed in May for the FR 1.4tsi engine will now be the year 19 model with the 1.5tsi engine plus the options I ordered and is planned for build week 38
I have seen the new price list which has increased the models but decreased the options but as mine will be built with the options that should be ok.
However, I was wondering are the 2019 models just a reconfiguration of what was available or are there any physical changes to the appearance of the car
Ordered 1.4 TSI FR, Velvet Red, Advanced Driving Assistance Pack, Digital Cockpit, Double Boot Floor, Panoramic Sunroof, Leather Pack, Navigation System Pack, Seat Sound, Winter Pack and Space Saver Wheel

Same here in Finland. The price list has been updated at the end on June, and it still has a LOT of 1.4 TSI models. There are some models, which you cannot order anymore:
- all 2.0 TDI models
- all 1.4 TSI models with 4Drive and manual gearbox

But there are still plenty of 1.4 models in the list; 2-wheel drive models and 4Drive+DSG ones.
